So there I was…
Sitting in the drive-thru line, minding my business, waiting for my turn to order. When I finally get to speak to the lady over the voice box, I ask a simple question:
“What’s on the carnitas quesadilla?”
She replies, “Meat, cheese, and some sauce.”
Sounds good. I say, “Cool, I’ll take the carnitas quesadilla meal at the top of the menu—no sauce, please.”
She agrees. Simple enough.
Then, the wait begins.
I sit there for what feels like a small eternity. Good thing TikTok and Instagram exist, otherwise I would’ve had to rely on my own thoughts—and let’s be honest, no one wants that while stuck in a slow-moving drive-thru. I had about three cars ahead of me, but somehow I was there for 15, maybe 20 minutes.
Finally, like every weary traveler before me, I make it to the window.
The lady there is actually very nice. She greets me, taps my card, disappears for a moment, and returns with my order. I’m in a bit of a rush—got somewhere to be in a couple hours—so I thank her, take the bag, and drive off.
I open it up, expecting my glorious quesadilla and fries.
Well, I got the fries (they were actually pretty good), but instead of a quesadilla... I see a burrito.
At this point, I'm annoyed. I didn’t want to go into the restaurant—that’s why I chose the drive-thru—but here we are. I park and take a look at my receipt fully expecting it to say carnitas quesadilla with no sauce,But the receipt says “burrito,” I know I don’t really have a leg to stand on. I mean, I’ve got a couple of beefy legs, but neither of them is a carnitas quesadilla, unfortunately.
So I sigh, accept my burrito fate, and head back to the freeway.
I unwrap the thing, dress it up with some mild sauce, then wrap it back up like a newborn being swaddled in a freshly warmed hospital towel. I take a bite… and instantly regret it.
The carnitas taste burnt—like it was scraped off a grill that should’ve been cleaned five hours ago. It smelled like scorched metal and tasted about the same. But I’m a wide-bodied human, and I needed something in my stomach, so I powered through about ¾ of the fries and less than half the burrito before surrendering and tossing the rest.
I left feeling disappointed and robbed—like I’d just thrown my money into a black hole or paid taxes straight to the void.
I really wanted to say something good about this visit. I live two hours away, so I can’t just swing by and make it right. The only positive? The woman at the window was very kind. But the order?
It got jack-O-saurus wrecked.
I don’t think I’ll be returning to this location… not in the future, and definitely not even if I get access to a time machine.

The 15 dollar nachos tasted good too bad I only got to enjoy half of it because all the toppings were only on the surface.

Ordered online with the app and went through the drive thru. Was told to wait out front so we did for 20 minutes to find they had cancelled our order. Very disappointing and a waste of time

I stop by on my way back home, and enjoyed the restaraunt. I order the quesadilla and fish tacos, and they were very good.

I went here a long time ago, my parents got severely ill on the food, and there was a crappy diaper left on the side, which, while I was sliding down, almost landed on it🤢. Some attendant there came to clean it but didn’t even use cleaner, she just sweeper it into a dust pan. I must admit though that the playground was pretty fun and big.
Service was not up to par
